The wedding party was 32 people deep and Polizzi and LaValle's guest list had 500 names on it! All of the little kids in her family had a role in the actual ceremony, with Polizzi's 2-year-old son Lorenzo carrying a sign that said, "Daddy here comes mommy" before she walked down the aisle.Jenni "JWoww" Farley served as a bridesmaid and other "Jersey Shore" cast mates in attendance included Samantha Giancola and Deena Cortese.

  • Clean Bandit Releases 'Stronger' from Special Edition Package of 'New Eyes' [REVIEW]

    Clean Bandit took over the radio waves in 2014 with their January single "Rather Be" featuring Jess Glyne. The song soared to the top of the U.K. charts — a first for the band — cracked the "Billboard" Top 10 and helped land them on festival stages worldwide while propelling the release of their artist album "New Eyes."Now they have unveiled a new track, "Stronger," from the special edition re-release of the album, which will also include a reworking of Robin S's classic "Show Me Love."While the album was not as well-received as their singles work, "Stronger" shows the same ability to create inescapably catchy singles that Clean Bandit have become known for. "Stronger" starts off with similar organ chords that were found in "Rather Be" but soon switches to a more traditional house piano that carries the melody of the song. Balancing their classical background with the deep grooves needed for a house song, they inject a measure of musicality into the track with sweeping violin strings over a shuffling bass line and deep synth stabs.
